Some Radio 4 listeners find The Archers so annoying that they turn the station off when the soap comes on. But imagine being forced to listen to the everyday tale of country folk – along with the rest of the station's output, such as Just a Minute and the shipping forecast – at full volume, night and day. That is what one family faced from what the Sun describes as a "nightmare neighbour" in Bristol, who also played the BBC World Service when Radio 4 shut down for the day. The man is to appeal against the granting of an asbo against him – Monkey wonders whether he will argue that listening to Magic 24 hours a day would have been more antisocial.
